Attachment 7244 Attachment 7243 Attachment 7242
All four callipers including the brackets were washed, inspected and overhauled.
Master cyl was also overhauled.
Attachment 7245
Once I'm happy, the system was pressure bled to get rid of tiny air bubbles.
4. ABS
Attachment 7246 Attachment 7247
Attachment 7249 Attachment 7248
Although the owner didn’t activate it regularly, all four solenoids were still working fine and it was easy to flush them.
5. Clutch Master/Slave CYL and hose
Attachment 7250 Attachment 7251 Attachment 7252
Another common failure item. The CL master cyl was already leaking inside the cabin so had to remove the carpet to clean the leaked brake fluid.
At the same time, the slave cyl and CL hose were also replaced.
6. Main Relay
Even during the Health check service, the engine failed to fire up while it was warm. So, new main relay was installed. The old one was re-soldered and conformal coating was applied for added protection. It will be kept on the car for an emergency spare. As it was non-DBW model, it was easy to replace it.
Attachment 7253 Attachment 7254
Even this NSX was 94 model, the Main Relay was using the parts from 1990.
New Main Relay with the parts from 2009.
7. Crank Pulley
Attachment 7255 Attachment 7256 Attachment 7257
The timing belt was replaced a few years ago but not the crank pulley.
So, definitely, it’s best to replace it now.
If you are doing this as DIY project, make sure to get hold of pulley attachment tool (MT or AT version) and proper torque wrench that can handle 245Nm.
8. A/C CCU service and cabin temperature sensor
Although the owner didn’t mention any issues with his A/C, I was 100% sure that the capacitors inside the CCU would be leaking so we decided to have it serviced.
Attachment 7258 Attachment 7259 Attachment 7260 Attachment 7261 Attachment 7262
And, yes indeed, most of the capacitors were leaking. Lots of cleaning process was required as well as many damaged circuit pads and lines had to be rebuilt.
Attachment 7263 Attachment 7264 Attachment 7265
At the same time, the cabin temperature sensor was cleaned as it was full of dust.
9. Coolant Header tank
Attachment 7266 Attachment 7267
The header tank was already cracked and the owner brought the new one.
All of the hoses need to be replaced in the near future but for the time being, I just replaced the header tank.
If you are creative, you can replace it without loosing too much coolant.
As a precaution, I bled the entire system afterwards.
10. MTF
Before removing the Left side driveshaft, MTF had to be drained.
Attachment 7272Attachment 7268 Attachment 7269
At the same time, I always inspect the MTF strainer and replace the O-ring at the cover.
Attachment 7270 Attachment 7271
Although there was no service history on the gearbox, the strainer was full of some kind of sealant.
Unfortunately, due to the structure and the mechanism of the transmission oil pump, it is not possible to flush the gearbox without rotating the rear tyres for a long distance.
The gear shifting was very smooth after replacing the fluid but I asked the owner to come back to my place during the Silverstone Classic event.
We’ll replace the fluid again and check the strainer to decide whether further flushing is required or not.
I'm glad we checked the strainer at this point.
Another very happy owner!
Time to say good bye to this Type-R and back to the beautiful silver NSX as I have unfinished business on this one due to my back pain and couldn't complete the service before Japfest.
Regards,
Kaz
Hi Kaz it sounds like it could be my old type R, if it has the Mugen headers most probably it is. I believe that the is a Mugen Item and the box had some special ratios, making acceleration very rapid.
If it is the one the full service history was with it when it was sold in 2007 to the previous owner.
Great job BTW as usual. :)
Think its your old car too Ary as its Charlotte green and I dont know of any other NSX-R here in that color.
Looks like it has color coded roof and aftermarket suspension?
